"I como to Anderson for no politi cal cause," continued the speaker. "I feel that tho timo has come when some man who cannot bo charged with selfish interest must present to the people of tho state certain conditions which need attention. If i was a candidate 1 could not do this without selfish Interest. I am therefore going to make a canvass over tho state to discus's (lucBtions that feel -lo be brought before tho people. "The first thing that I wish to discuss is that of thc state's affairs. South Carolina never has had a real bus'uegs administration of it? public alf airs. This same assertion mav be applied to "a.ii of ino other eastern states. Georgia never has. We have never yet taken a progressive step that must bc taken. 'Thc Hern edy. "What is the remedy? 1 do not In tend to make complaints unless I can suggest another method. It would bo very mean of mc to go about offering criticism unless I had somo suggestions to make. "Wo have too many office holders. One out of every 20 of the voters Is on the public pay roll In some capacity or other. Our taxes year after year have steadily increased far faster than our wealth as shown by thc tax bookB. Thero has been a tendency in tho general assembly to have, boards to crcato now oihees. Wo have men going over tho state inspecting oil, fertilizer, etc., five or six doing what one man ought to do." Mr. Mclaurin then discussed thc appropriation bill which demanda tho attention of tho general assem bly at every session and tho man ner In which they are paused. Ho E-'.atei that it was time for ' South Carolina '.- tako stock and become moro econ jin leal. "This can be ap plied to our own private affairs. In f'vo or six years tho boll weovll will bo with us and then wo aro going to bo compelled to practico strict economy in our private af fairs," stated tho speaker. ? Senator McLaurln said in 1905. 'ho assessment for taxation was $220,00O',000, the revenue at a rate of 6 1-4 milla was a little over ono mil lion dollars. Ten years later in 1915, assessed valuation was $210,907,101. Taxes amounting to $2,176,350 were levied. Tho appropriation bill car ried $3,463,759.82. There was a studied effort to mislead the people. Tho levy was fixed at 5 1-2 mills, and a spec I ni levy ot 1-2 mill was made for Mic asylum, and one mill for pen-' s io ns, bringing tho total to 7 mills. "So here is the proposition: In 10 years there baa been an Increase of about 47 per cont in taxable values, and of more than 100 per cent in ex penditures. In other words how long will it tako to bankrupt n man mak ing $47 and spending $100. In addition to tho amount appro priated, the governor was authorized to "borrow $50,000 to pay liquor con stables and $100,000 for repairs on the state hospital - property In Co lumbia, not understanding tho fact thai the state bought the state paru and has declared tho policy of mov ing tho asylum out there." "I j do not present these facto to cause dtsaatisfaction. This- govern ment is yours, and tho people serv ing you are thoao elected by you. What we need ls a business Uko con ducting of <tho public affairs. It 1 makes no difference who la governor or what faction ls tn control.*" Mr. MoLaurln stated that tho re medy was in tho sending of able -representativos to Columbia, men of no certain faction, but men who . are capable business men. Ho stated that he would' advocate a budget system, nppoi.it ? board consisting of three or four mon to get this up, ami make them responsible for lt, After discussing the budget sys tem, ho stated, that the next step would ,be-to crcato a . board * under whose direction, all str'j Institu tions would como.

Mr. McLaurln then, ref or red te tho Elate, warehouse- system and brought the discussion to the licensed erad c.rs system, which ho said ho wa.s very anxious io see effective tn this state. Ho told those prosent to ask those who offered themselves as. .candidates for the legislature if *hey were In favor of ? the j licensed cotton graders system, and if they* were not; ! hot to vote tor them. Batttl Credits. Mt. McLaurln then took up the Question of rural credits and dis cussed it at some length. HO stated that it waa the .btggust question be fore the people of tho south today and that tho future ot any country depended on the relation of the'peo ple to the land. . , H?,;*t*ted that If cotton stored In warehouser., could be transformed In-, to, negotiable paper and money bor rowed, the land oh which -the cotton was grow;i ought certainly to be transformed also.
